Dog Walking University City

“Sara was great with Brownie! She took great care of him and was very communicative. She also sent great pictures each visit. We were very happy with everything and will definitely book with her again!”

About: I have lived with furry friends my whole life, lending me years of firsthand experiences dealing with dog and cat ownership from little babies to senior animals and I am familiar with the special care needs that come with different age groups. In addition to dog and cat sitting for family I have several years of experience on Rover providing walking and house sitting care. Every animal has such a vibrant and unique personality and I can't wait to meet yours!

“Celine is fantastic. You can tell she loves dogs, and Peach warmed up to her immediately. Peach has some anxiety around walking with new people, but she walked with Celine on her first visit. I can’t wait for Peach to continue walks with her!”

“Jim was wonderful with our dog Auggie. He responded immediately and was very reliable and kind. He sent wonderful photos and I highly recommend Jim as a dog walker. We will continue to use Jim’s services from this point on into the future.”

“Chaminie took really excellent care of our Spikey boy. She gave timely updates after their walks and always played with him at home. I would 100% recommend her to a friend and will def book her again!”

“It was our first time on Rover and Luciana was so kind enough to meet with our pup a couple of days before. We were worried about our pup having separation anxiety because we were going back to the office 4 days a week now.Shadow enjoyed the visits and was very glad to see her for his walks. Luciana made us feel comfortable and communicated well and promptly. We will definitely be booking Luciana for as long as she is available 🙂”

About: I've taken care of family dogs and I've volunteered at the rescue shelter "A way home for dogs" in San Diego. The volunteering mostly involves watching and restraining dogs as we got them acclimated to crowds of people. Currently free for the summer, so I'll have plenty of time to care for pets. I have no significant other commitments throughout the week. No children or other pets in my apartment. I'll dog walk and play with them. I live in a apartment complex with a friendly pet policy.

About: Young and energetic ready to give your pets the time of their lives! Taking care of animals since 2006, ready for more adventures and love I’m currently in San Diego for the summer and work remotely which allows me to have a flexible schedule according to your needs and wants I have a closed off outdoor area where your pet can safely wander and enjoy the outdoors without any issues. Can crate pet if needed!

About: Seven years ago, I rescued a beagle, and I’ve been caring for him ever since. Through daily walks, feeding, training, playtime, and regular vet visits, I’ve gained hands-on experience understanding dogs’ needs and personalities. I know how important patience, consistency, and safety are, and I’ll treat every dog in my care with the same love and attention I give my own. I’m a full-time student with a flexible schedule outside of classes. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening walks on many weekdays, as well as weekends. I keep my calendar up to date and always communicate about changes. I care for every pet as if they were my own. I respect dogs, their habits and space. I follow the owner’s instructions, keep pets safe and comfortable, provide plenty of exercise and attention, and make sure their routine stays consistent.

“Julie is kind, patient, and reliable. Our dog loves her!!”

About: From day sitting for my friend’s cat and dog, to long term taking care of my sisters dog, I’ve pet sit for quite a while! I currently dog sit for my neighbors who have both small and big dogs, and I would love to help more owners in need of pet care! As a full time student at UCSD, I am flexible, reliable, and have a lot of availability! Open to drop-ins and walks! Send me a message and we can find what works for you :) Creating a calm, safe, and nurturing environment for your pet is extremely important to me. I carefully follow your care instructions, keep their space clean, and make sure they receive plenty of playtime and affection. Your pet’s comfort and happiness are always my top priority, so you can feel confident they’re in good hands while you’re away.

About: I have multiple years of experience caring for pets in the area and I am formally trained in animal nursing. I focus on enrichment, exercise, and keeping your pets healthy and well-loved (plus cute photos!). I’m between school semesters and I would love to meet all of your pets in my downtime! I have regular availability and am able to plan my day around you. I recognize the trust I am given when I enter someone’s home, and I always keep the space secure and clean of any pet-related messes. Part of my routine if the client is away is sending a picture including the locked door and house number.

About: Hello, my name is Kim. I am an experienced dog sitter and a huge dog lover. I currently work hybrid at UCSD so i may have to go in the office for a couple of hours m-f but i live 5 mins from my job so when I do go in, I can always come back home quickly. I have plenty of time to play with your pups on the weekend and after work! I like to go to the beach and park as much as possible especially when I’m dog sitting. Pet sitting always keeps me in great spirits and gets my steps in since I love taking them on walks. Your pup would be sleeping in my room where there is plenty of space for a dog bed. I also have floor pillows which dogs seem to gravitate to and for those pups who want to cuddle in bed they are welcomed to do so. Additionally, there’s a dog park in my apartment complex with green space all around so it’s a safe area to walk them. when/if your pet is in my home they would be free to be on furniture and play with their toys in our living room, balcony and my bedroom.

About: Hi, I’m Zakira! As a lifelong animal lover, I know pets are family—not just pets. My goal is to make every furry guest feel safe, loved, and comfortable while giving you complete peace of mind. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, belly rubs, or simply relaxing with someone nearby, I’ll tailor their care to fit their unique personality and routine. When your pet stays with me, you can expect: * 🐾 Plenty of love and one-on-one attention * 📸 Daily photo and video updates * 🚶 Walks, playtime, and enrichment * 🍽️ Careful attention to feeding schedules and medications (if needed) * 💤 A calm, clean, and comfortable environment * ❤️ Lots of cuddles (if they enjoy them!) I’m dependable, communicative, and committed to treating every pet as if they were my own. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your best friend, and I’ll do everything I can to make you feel confident while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family! I currently work Monday–Friday, 8am–5pm, but I have an hour lunch break from 12–1pm — perfect for stopping by to give your pets a potty break, some fresh air, and a little love. 🐾 After 5pm on weekdays, I’m available for sitting, walks, and cuddles. I don’t have kids, and after recently saying goodbye to my own beloved dog, I’d truly love the chance to give my care and attention to yours. ❤️ On some Fridays I’m off or finish early, and I’m also available for boarding after 5:30/6pm on Fridays and all day Saturday–Sunday. Your pets will be in caring, responsible hands, and I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 16 and have experience with pups of all ages, sizes, and energy levels. Friends, family, and referrals have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and love their dogs both in their homes and mine. I make sure each dog gets the right mix of exercise, playtime, and snuggles — whether that’s a trip to the dog park, a long walk, or simply relaxing together. I understand how much dogs thrive on routine, so I always follow their schedule and give them the same affection and attention they would get from their family. My goal is to keep every tail wagging and every pup feeling safe, happy, and cared for. When caring for dogs in a client’s home, I provide fresh food and water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of love. I also send photo updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away. Since I don’t have kids or other pets, your furry babies will always have my full attention and care.

About: Hi! I'm Vivian, a UCSD medical student and lifelong animal lover. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from 9-week-old puppies to 12-year-old senior dogs. In the past, I've provided dog walking, feeding, and overnight house sitting, and I'm comfortable following specific routines, administering basic care, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I'm also a cat owner myself, so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pet. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply sticking to their usual routine, I'll make sure they receive attentive, reliable care and plenty of affection. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I’m currently a medical student on summer break so I will have plenty of time to dedicate to your furry friends! Throughout the rest of summer, my schedule is very flexible to cater to whatever your pet needs :) I live at graduate housing which has plenty of green space for your pets to roam around and explore! I am able to crate your pets if necessary. I have a senior cat at home that has lived with other cats before and has also been friendly with all dogs that have come to visit my home.
